Financial Literacy (List of Best Resources)

If you will be told to enlist your best and definitive resources that have helped you learn financial literacy and you also believe will help aspiring beginners to achieve the same thing, what would be the contents of that list?

After reading the book of Colayco 5 yrs ago, i invested my money in mutual funds,stocks and corporate funds.One book was enough for me to be enlightened.Experience is still the best teacher.i also learned a lot from people here in PMT.

Then after 6 months i read kiyosaki's books pero wala pa ako sa real estate investment.That was when i tried to email CI,an active poster here who discussed his very successful real estate ventures here.I am learning a lot from some people who share their experiences here.

Hi! everyone. am new here my first post and question @ wintan2006 sir would you say that of all the different types of investment options we have right now it is wise to start with the mutual fund investment for me as newbie? before diving to other investments? (i.e. stocks, forex, etc.) Is it the first step or the training ground? Thank you!

@ waray,it all depends on your risk appetite.it happened that i wasn't into stocks before ,so i started with TDs,corporate bonds,mutual bonds then stocks.yung stocks,my sister is doing the buying and selling for me.I thought about forex before pero parang inde pa kaya ng powers ko.

In mutual funds,the profilt will depend on when you sell it.There was a time that i earned 20% in 3 months( i put lump sum here) so medyo malaki ang kita. last year,when navps was starting to go down,i sold some of my MFs and it earned me an average of 10% per annum.It was already good for me considering the interest offered by banks.mababaw lang ako.

if you will compare their profit,i could say it's faster to earn in stocks pero mas mabilis din mawala.I got a very close friend here,he owned 4 apartments.He invested in stocks before,kinareer nya talaga.I bumped into him 2 months ago and he told me he sold one of his apartments( ang isang maliit na apartment dito costs 5M pesos,old na apartment na yan ha).I asked him if he still trades,he said" NO, PLEASE, NO)He lost a lot in stocks.Yan lang siguro masasabi ko,why don't you ask other traders here,they have their own story din baka they are doing very well in stocks.You can ask for their advice.small time investor lang po ako.
